Yeah, right.

“Youse had best make a ‘personal decision’ to see tings our way… it’d be a shame if some udders might be compelled to make a similar ‘personal decision’ regarding youse.”

totally, yup - that is wt

Re-activate me?

by punkofnice in

there was a knock at my door and i thought it was my take-away being delivered.. long story short, it was 2 elders calling to see me.

i guess to re-activate me.

once they said who they were i recognised them.

FragrantAddendum

i never stood up in the hall and said anything about the situation

i had sent emails to my friends asking them for help and warning them about stuff going on in the congregation

and the elders got mad about it

said i wasn't allowed to tell my friends what was going on

back before i got disfellowshipped, it was during covid zoom meetings

they got mad at me for turning off my audio/video during the elders prayers

(even though other people have their audio/video off all the time)

they could tell i disconnected audio/video to make a statement

and it really irritated the co when he came to visit

i had been begging him to help with the situation

i had reached out to other elder bodies in the circuit and at bethel

but they don't care about protecting the flock

only about prominence

that's why they got so mad that i disconnected my audio/video during their prayers

it was like i wouldn't do an act of worship to them

i have never disrupted a meeting

here is what i have done: i have said hello to people after being disfellowshipped (jehovah didn't shun me or disfellowship me and i didn't talk during the meeting but i did say hello to people before and after because i am not ashamed of keeping integrity)

i have hugged friend in the kh after being disfellowshipped

i raised my hand to comment when someone dropped a mean comment about me during their bible highlights (about wicked apostates or something) and then when the speaker said "does anyone else have a comment about this week's bible reading?" i raised my hand because i did have a comment, even though i knew they wouldn't call on me - i was being honest, i really did have a comment

after getting told my privilege to attend is revoked, i stood across the street outside that kh with a sign that said "jehovah's united family" with big hearts on it and i waved to the "friends" i'd known for decades since the elders wouldn't let me in

i only did that once though and it was after they revoked my "privilege"

i wanted to protect the people in the KH from getting hurt they way i got hurt

elders don't like it when you tell the truth about one of their own

the bethel guys really don't like it

Do we have "original" indipendent documents proving that Rutherford was an alcoholic?

by psyco in

i was wondering if you could prove with "original" independent documents that rutherford was an alcoholic.... .

i read penton, but since he is a former jw he could not be considered an independent source.... .

FragrantAddendum

the local KH, the COBE would crack open the beers first thing in the morning

his "office" looked like a college dorm room after a party with all the empty liquor bottles

he'd throw back a cold one before heading to midweek meeting, to take the edge off

so when others in the KH got drunk and arrested for domestic abuse

it was no big deal to those elders who were already doing something similar

as long as the person in question bows to the wt-hierarchy, it's pretty much a free pass

they won't come to my door

i went to a funeral couple weeks ago, just stood outside my car, didn't go in the KH -

it wasn't the KH i used to go to, it's where my mother-in-law goes

(my JW husband went in)

my kids didn't go in, they stayed with me

the elders were going to call the police because i was in the parking lot

he asked if they could not call since the kids were there

i wanted to go to the funeral to show respect for the widow, she and her husband were at my wedding

the elders sent a "guard" out to make sure i "behaved" in the parking lot - unbelievable

(i have never disrupted any of their meetings/assemblies/etc)

my husband had yesterday off for the holiday

he spent it with one of the local elders

he had gone over to drop something off and they asked him to stay for lunch and help paint their shed

(meanwhile our house is falling apart)

he came back and told me two of my friends have died

i've known them several decades

(of course, i can't go to their funerals either or they'll call the police)

🤯🤪😱

my husband wanted to go to the convention as a family a few weeks ago

so we went together just for the sunday morning session, i drove

the attendants seated us since we arrived as the song was beginning

people said hi to me, even some of the elders (there are a few non-nazi ones)

but by lunchtime the co running the convention (who hates me) was aware i was there

so they wanted me to leave, they said my husband and kids could stay but i had to go

we all left

these wt people are insane

breaking up families, one family at a time

they tell my husband i'm as good as dead, satan spawn, etc kind of thing

so life at home is like hell a lot of the time

meanwhile, he doesn't get any help from them curbing his addictions because in wt-land they pretend addictions don't exist as long as you worship the gb-appointed-wt-hierarchy members

they just enable him and then pretend everything's okay

wt stinkin whitewashed graves

i hate it

Hey, Regarding the "Resurrection" thing and the WT denial of the Mt 27:51-53 incident...

by FragrantAddendum in

so according to bible.

elisha's bones were there when jehovah resurrected some other dude.

jesus could heal from a distance by power of god.

FragrantAddendum

the faithful jews of old looked forward to a future resurrection

as you mentioned, @kaleb, a standing up again in the flesh

all things are possible with god

if he can resurrect the dead

he can resurrect someone's faith too

such as The Ignatius Study Bible New Testament (and its upcoming full Bible release which will be out in November, later this year).

lol - i just read an excerpt from that

the study notes are ridiculous! (for instance, look at what he said regarding Mt 1:3-6)

which is what one would expect from a bible named after an apostate like ignatius

the fact that the guy publishing that wants to make money off god's word

shows he's a fraud and full of 💩

just like the wt gb

all those wt elders make me just want to scream

they are just shameful

good job, @vidqun and @punky and everybody else dealing with such insanity from the wt-peeps

you know i'm not a believer in the hellfire-doctrine thing, but this is the gist of how i feel about them with all their life-wrecking shenanigans - what mrs. guttman said:
